High impact information on chi

  • In animal explant experiments, synergism of Ldb1 with Xlim-1 in the activation of downstream genes required both the region containing the dimerization domain of Ldb1 and the region containing the LIM-binding domain [1].
  • In this study we localized the transcriptional activation domain of Xlim-1 to its carboxyl-terminal region, and characterized the interactions of the amino-terminally located LIM domains with Ldb1 [1].
  • We have cloned and sequenced the genes corresponding to the membrane exons of the three immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy chain isotypes (mu, upsilon and chi) of Xenopus [2].
